“That was the saddest thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” Sasuke commented bluntly, eyeing his cousin’s almost comatose form with deep suspicion.  “I’m having a hard time seeing why the elders talk about his abilities so much.”

Itachi hefted their cousin a little higher up on his shoulder and let out a soft sigh.  “Sasuke.  No one is at their best after putting that much alcohol into their system.”  Except perhaps Tsunade of the Senju clan, but that was a rare case.

“He flashed-stepped straight into a tree,” Sasuke reminded him with a scoff.

“Admittedly not his finest moment,” acknowledged his brother.  “And in his defense, that tree was not there last week.  I assume we can thank your pink-haired teammate for rearranging the landscape of the practice grounds for us?”

Sasuke flushed heavily and didn’t reply.

After a moment of silence, Itachi added, “Try asking him for a spar again in two days.”

The younger Uchiha blinked a couple of times, trying to piece together what Itachi was getting at.  “Why two days?”

“Because...”

It was at that point that Shisui let out a groan - the only warning Itachi got before his shoe was suddenly covered in vomit.  “...Because he’ll be doing that for most of tomorrow.”

“Gross.”

Shisui groaned.  “I promise... to never try to outdrink an Akimichi ever again.  I swear it on my life. I... I owe you one.”

Itachi hummed in agreement.  “The concussion probably doesn’t help either.”

His cousin gave him a weak thumbs up.

“...Fine,” Sasuke conceded.  “I’ll give him another chance to redeem himself.”

Oh, Eien. 

So, Ichigo’s always liked to watch the stars, you know? He has an affinity for the night sky. Anyway, he grows up to be an astronomer and ends up working out at some remote observatory, ‘cause tragic childhood + anger issues = does not get along with people and he’s happy to be alone, out there on the mountain. 

Except he’s not, because late one night when he’s been up too long listening to the background radiation of the universe, she shows up, a little bedraggled and a lot drenched in the pouring rain.

Her skin is luminous like the moon, and her hair is black as midnight and Ichigo takes her in out of the rain and tells her that he’ll take her down to the city the next day, but the road gets washed out and so he can’t and they eat canned food and get to know each other and maybe Rukia isn’t only what she seems. 

2. Favorite genre of fic?

Oh lord. Ah, probably romance in conjunction with other things? When hunting for fic, I start with either a pairing or my latest fave Ao3 tag and look around for something that seems interesting.

9. What is the longest fic you’ve read?

Still reading! It’s Re-Entry & its sequel series Re-Entry: Journey of the Whills (Star Wars Time Travel) by @deadcatwithaflamethrower (flamethrower on Ao3). Second up is by the same author, the Of A Linear Circle series (Harry Potter), which is about 300k away from surpassing RE. They’re both fantastic, but make sure you have plenty of time to read them because they’re addictive monsters.

12. What turns you away the most from a fic?

From the start? Formatting/Mechanics. If I’m struggling to read what you’ve written, it’s very unlikely that I’m getting beyond the first chapter/paragraph. Which is always really sad when it’s an interesting premise. Otherwise, if the fic isn’t what I thought it might be, or if it’s just something I’m not in the mood for, I’ll click out. I’m usually up to trying most things that aren’t just really weird, so the only thing that’s an immediate, hard no for me right now is infidelity. I just can’t stand reading anything where the protag is unfaithful to their SO because I often tend to get personally invested in stories and infidelity is just something I can’t fathom and makes me feel really uncomfortable.

41. Favorite fluffy tropes?

Oh dear. All of them? Give me some tall and smol, loveable dork and longsuffering partner, cuddling…I like characters to be happy, even if my writing doesn’t always show it, so most things are pretty good in my books.

42. Least favorite fluffy tropes?

I don’t think there’s any that I particularly dislike. My fluff tastes vary a lot, so what I’m craving one day may differ from what I go looking for on other days.

43. Do you like fluff on its own or in conjunction with other elements (angst, sex, etc.)

there weren’t enough words in the world for how much I loved @indraaas‘s fic for @ichirukimonth, so I drew a picture instead. 

Eien, you are a beautiful talented precious human being and ily so much for this gem.
